abstract = {γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-proteinogenic amino
acid mainly formed by decarboxylation of L-glutamate and is
widespread in nature from microorganisms to plants and
animals. In this study, we analyzed the regulation of GABA
utilization by the Gram-positive soil bacterium
Corynebacterium glutamicum, which serves as model organism
of the phylum Actinobacteria. We show that GABA usage is
subject to both specific and global regulatory mechanisms.
Transcriptomics revealed that the gabTDP genes encoding GABA
transaminase, succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, and GABA
permease, respectively, were highly induced in GABA-grown
cells compared to glucose-grown cells. Expression of the
gabTDP genes was dependent on GABA and the PucR-type
transcriptional regulator GabR, which is encoded divergently
to gabT. A ΔgabR mutant failed to grow with GABA, but not
with glucose. Growth of the mutant on GABA was restored by
plasmid-based expression of gabR or of gabTDP, indicating
that no further genes are specifically required for GABA
utilization. Purified GabR (calculated mass 55.75 kDa)
formed an octamer with an apparent mass of 420 kDa and bound
to two inverted repeats in the gabR-gabT intergenic region.
Glucose, gluconate, and myo-inositol caused reduced
expression of gabTDP, presumably via the cAMP-dependent
global regulator GlxR, for which a binding site is present
downstream of the gabT transcriptional start site. C.
glutamicum was able to grow with GABA as sole carbon and
nitrogen source. Ammonium and, to a lesser extent, urea
inhibited growth on GABA, whereas L-glutamine stimulated it.
Possible mechanisms for these effects are discussed.},
